  Avoid

  11 Sept 2025

  Reception and the bar look good and check-in was fast but all down hill after that. Our “Executive” room was tired, connecting door won’t close at all, aircon won’t work, very little soundproofing so we can hear every word of next doors phone conversation and footsteps from the room above and everyone walking down the corridor. Only two people working the bar and restaurant so after 20 minutes trying to get a drink we gave up and went out.On the plus side the bed was comfy If the manager reads this, resign you’re no good at your job. Julie RIMET, General Manager at Novotel Dijon Sud, responded to this review Hello,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

  Clean, convenient and comfortable

  15 Aug 2025

  We were worried about the stay due to some of the reviews, we stayed in August so it was busy but the staff were friendly and helpful, pool lovely little bonus for a dip especially with kids. Parts are tired like the stairs but it was clean, comfortable and convenient location. Products in the room, shower great and air con was really good! Bed really comfortable, good breakfast and pet friendly. We all slept well and feel refreshed for the further drive.

  A few things to address

  30 Jul 2025

  We stay here every year en route back to the UK from our holiday home in Provence so know this hotel well. It does the job in that it’s convenient, near a petrol station and large E Leclerc and I can probably do the journey with my eyes shut. However we have noticed over the years a gradual decline in what’s offered and little things that really need to be looked at. We’d booked a room with a double bed and the sofa beds made up as two beds but initially got given a room with them made as a double. We were then moved to a room at the far end of the hotel. One of the beds had broken wooden slats, the walls were painted a horrible brown colour as was the loo and there was no fridge which we’ve always had every time we’ve stayed previously. The water coming from the taps in the bathroom also had a slightly odd smell. It felt like we’d been given a room that was rarely used or used only if nothing else was available. On the plus side all the staff were very polite, if a little inexperienced , the food was fine and the pool looked OK although we didn’t use it this time round. It’s not a cheap stay though so I think there needs to be more attention to detail to get back on track. RECEPTION NOVOTEL, Owner at Novotel Dijon Sud, responded to this review Dear mummyofaandw1,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for being a loyal guest over the years. We truly value your continued patronage and your honest observations.We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your recent stay, from the initial room assignment to the condition of the bed, décor, and amenities. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments have been shared with our team to ensure these points are addressed promptly.We are glad to hear that you found our staff polite, the food satisfactory, and the pool enjoyable, and we appreciate your recognition of these aspects. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve and maintain the quality our guests expect.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on your next journey and restore the experience you have come to enjoy at our hotel.Julie RIMET - Hôtel Manager

  Dreadful start to the holidays; truly horrid.

  24 Jul 2025

  Truly horrid. We booked on the basis of having absolutely loved our stay in Novotel Annecy. Imagine our deception when we arrived to an old, dated building in what felt like an industrial estate. Granted, we should have taken more care with the exact location but this place felt more like a motel on the side of the motorway than a 4 star hotel. I was shocked to see a customer using the restaurant/bar in bare feet. The rooms are very dated and although the bathroom is clean (the hooks for the towels were loose), the decor needs a serious refresh and update. We thought breakfast was deplorable: terrible organisation, very poor and random choice, 19€ worth of food it is not. I was so disappointed. The staff at reception seemed very very young, and overall there was a lack of customer care and service. We didn’t feel welcome at all and I actually felt as if I was inconveniencing them by asking for a second key card. I will say that there was an older lady working the restaurant on our second day and she kindly helped us to heat our baby’s food and was generally very pleasant. There is a fitness room advertised… It is the size of a closet; two or three machines and no free weights. Disappointing. Shall we talk about the soundproofing? I was woken up at around midnight by the sound of our neighbours coming into their room. It was as if they’d entered our room it was so loud. Second night we had children running up and down and so pounding on the ceiling at 10pm. If we’d paid 100€ for the two nights we stayed (en route to Switzerland) or if it had been advertised as a 2 star hotel I wouldn’t be so angry and disappointed. I feel a fool and will be very hesitant to book any Novotel in the future Romane Denni, General Manager at Novotel Dijon Sud, responded to this review Bonjour,Nous vous remercions d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience, aussi difficile soit-elle, et nous sommes sincèrement désolés de lire à quel point votre séjour n’a pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes — en particulier au regard de votre fidélité à la marque Novotel.Nous comprenons parfaitement votre frustration. L'emplacement de notre hôtel, situé en périphérie dans une zone d’activité, peut en effet surprendre ceux qui s’attendent à un cadre plus central ou touristique. Cela dit, nous aurions aimé que l’accueil et le confort compense cette première impression, et nous regrettons profondément que cela n’ait pas été le cas.Concernant la chambre et les espaces communs, nous sommes conscients que certains éléments mériteraient un rafraîchissement, et des projets d’amélioration sont à l’étude. Nous sommes également désolés pour les nuisances sonores rencontrées, tant dans les parties communes que dans votre chambre — cela n’aurait pas dû impacter la tranquillité de votre séjour.Votre ressenti sur la qualité du petit déjeuner, la salle de fitness, ainsi que l’accueil en réception est particulièrement regrettable. Soyez assuré que votre retour a été partagé avec les responsables de chaque service, notamment pour accompagner et encadrer nos équipes les plus récentes, et mieux garantir l’écoute et la disponibilité que nos clients sont en droit d’attendre.Nous vous remercions également d’avoir mentionné l’attitude attentionnée d’une collaboratrice au restaurant — nous ne manquerons pas de lui transmettre vos encouragements.Nous espérons sincèrement que cette expérience malheureuse ne remettra pas totalement en question votre confiance dans la marque Novotel, et que nous aurons l’occasion de vous accueillir à nouveau dans un contexte plus apaisé, et dans de meilleures conditions.Bien cordialement,Benjamin

  One to avoid

  20 Jul 2025

  Phoned before booking to check you had accessible wetroom bathroom free and this was confirmed. Went ahead and booked on that basis. Reconfirmed same info on phone 1 week before arrival.Girl on reception didnt say anything and gave us a keycard. Rom was a. Small double, only just enough room for able bodied person to get into the toilet and close the door. No chance to get a wheelchair in. Shower room not a wetroom and my wife could not even get her wheelchair through the shower room door.Went to reception but staff too busy sorting families out with young children who were running all over the hotel unsupervised by their parents and this carried on until late, running up and down corridoors.Dinner was adequate, fries overcooked. My wifes penne with champignons didn’t have any champignons in it. At least half the staff looked as though they had only started an hour before as they were clueless when you asked them a question.Tried asking to see a manager next morning to discuss accessible room but no one even knew if they had them and there wasn’t a manager in the hotel.Compared to Novotel Chartres, where we have stayed before and where we stayed at the start of this holiday, this hotel in Dijon was so inferior that we would not even consider staying there again and would not give it 2 *This is one Hotel to miss. RECEPTION NOVOTEL, Owner at Novotel Dijon Sud, responded to this review Dear msbraintree,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and, most importantly, that we failed to provide the accessible room you had requested and confirmed. This is completely unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and distress this caused.We also regret that other aspects of your stay, including noise levels, dining, and staff assistance, did not meet the high standards we aim to provide. Your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure immediate improvements are made, particularly regarding accessibility information, staff training, and overall guest experience.We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve our services for all guests. We hope that, should you consider staying with us again in the future, we can restore your confidence in our hotel.Julie RIMET - Hôtel Manager
